Beef & Spinach Lo Mein Recipe
  • Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
  • Yield: 5 Servings
20 10 30

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound beef top round steak, thinly sliced
  • 6 ounces uncooked spaghetti
  • 4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 package (10 ounces) fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 1 red chili pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, water, sesame oil, garlic and pepper flakes. Pour 1/4 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 10 minutes. Set remaining marinade aside.
  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet or wok, stir-fry beef in 3 teaspoons canola oil in batches for 1-2 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
  • Drain spaghetti and set aside. In the skillet or wok, stir-fry water chestnuts and onions in remaining oil until onions are tender. Stir in the spinach, spaghetti and reserved marinade. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until spinach is wilted.
  • Return beef to the pan; heat through. Garnish with chili pepper. Yield: 5 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Tip

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia

Medium-Bodied Red Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a medium-bodied red wine such as Chianti, Sangiovese, Malbec or Zinfandel.

I made this last night for my boyfriend and I, and was surprised by the great flavor of the sauce for such a quick recipe. I will definitely be making this dish again; the possibilities for variations on the veggies are endless. Thanks!

Made it for ds and dh and both had seconds and said it was really tasty. The only minor changes I made were that I used sirloin steak, added a sliced red bell pepper along with the onions and water chestnuts, vermicelli instead of spaghetti and a 9 oz. bag of prewashed spinach and didn't chop the spinach.
